Gold is about 10μm, light gold is about 7μm, and silver is around 12 to 13μm! Here are some examples of cross-sectional observations.
We would like to introduce a case study conducted at our company regarding three types of anodized products sold as tableware: gold, light gold, and silver, which were investigated from both the surface and cross-section. By creating a cross-section of the anodized coating through ion milling and measuring its thickness, we found that the gold was approximately 10μm, the light gold was about 7μm, and the silver was around 12 to 13μm. Additionally, it was confirmed that the difference in the intensity of the gold color (the difference between gold and light gold) is due to the variation in film thickness. [Case Overview] ■ Surface magnified observation: Differences in "shape" on the surface ■ Cross-section magnified observation: Measurement of film thickness and observation of the shape of the outermost surface *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
